I have no idea what answer you're expecting that would involve "my Grade-level reading ability"
Ability to detect misinformation online has nothing to do with the metric described in the headline.
Most people just choose not to read contracts that don't matter, whether they can or not. When was the last time you read a EULA?
They also tend to be fairly tightly constrained legally, since obviously society couldn't function properly if the majority of people weren't able to enter into the majority of contracts.
Do you have no idea why being able to read at a basic level would be relevant when communicating with a lawyer?
How would you go about disproving misinformation? How would you research if the claims in a video are true or not true?
